Introduction

Problem Description


The new pandemic of COVID-19 was the most discussed matter of the last 2 years. As such, it is important to analyze and predict the trends of the vaccination process at the level of the whole world, but also at the country-level.

The data collected is meant to answer questions such as:

  1. What kind of vaccine is used by which country?
  2. Which country has the most advanced vaccine program?
  3. Where are more people vaccinated daily?
  4. How is the vaccination rate evolving, with regard to the population already vaccinated?

The data set


The data set is updated daily and cotains the following collumns:


Note: For this first deliverable, we also sorted the countries based on some of these collumns in order to obtain a top of them.

The task


The task for today (25.03.2021) was to familiarize ourselves with the data from the dataset and also present the data under different forms, using different types of data visualization techniques.

Subtask 1 - Fetching the data

For this subtask, we fetched the data directly from the Kaggle website by making use of the kaggle API.

Subtask 2 - Familiarizing ourselves with the data

This subtask was completed by understanding the meaning of each column in the table and thinking about ways this data can provide us important information. As such, we present vaccination details about Romania, but also the top 10 countries in terms of percentage of vaccination as well as total number of vaccinations.

Subtask 3 - Data visualization

This subtask was completed by searching for different types of data visualization. As such, we used pie plot, scatter plots (on the whole world map), bar plots, line plots a.s.o. This gave us a general understanding of the number of vaccinations (both total and daily).
